    Welcome and make yourself at home. Sit on the couch and grab a pistachio.

    What do I have to offer? Graphic Design, Web Design and Illustration. Most of my requests in real life come from portrait drawing though. Maybe you want your portrait done, or the woman you love, the daugher you adore, or your mother that carried you for 9 months. I can help with that (with drawing, not carrying you around).

    • Graphic Design


    • Web Design (XHTML&CSS)


    • Illustration



    I've been mostly doing portraits in my freelancing work so far. Here are some examples. I have permission from all the people (or parents depending on the case) I portray below. These people aren't anywhere else on the net, these are actually people I've done portraits to.

    How does it work? Either I have the client in person in my house so I can draw him or her live, or the client emails me a picture of the person. Pictures should be high resolution as it's harder to see details on passport-like photos, but it can be done anyway.

    I will never, under any circumstance, share any photo you have sent me, or distribute the portrait in any manner without permission. After the transaction is complete, you, as the client, now hold the complete rights to the artwork.

    All the works above are either my works or works done to clients that were asked for permission before posting.

    And thats not all, I also do character and environment drawing.

    For design, prices are very dependent on what you want. I know you can't see any work so far, so may you might want to judge me within illustration.

    For portraits, I charge $30 or €22, I accept both currencies. Payments can be done via PayPal, Moneybookers or bank transfer.

    For other types of drawings and/other illustrations, the prices may vary depending in the complexity of the work.

    I have a 5 year college degree in graphic, web design and printshop production. I worked in the field at a couple of different places and I've gone freelancing, for now.

    Surprisingly enough, one of my recurring hobbies, drawing and illustration has set me a foot in an area that is not directly related with my area of education.

    I am an european based artist and I am familiar with the design field but lately I've been doing less design and more art (and I don't want to go into the differences between the 2 ;))

    I did a substantial amounf of work in a printshop I've worked in. Not all of that could be considered design work, as I've had to do my share of boring stuff, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to share anything of it.

    I will keep this thread updated with the design related work I'll be doing at Digital Point.





    IMPORTANT NOTE

    Please bear in mind that the set price for portrait drawing is for the digital transfer of the drawing, in .PSD, .JPEG, .PNG, or any other of your choice. Shipping the original drawing to you will raise the price somewhat, depending on your country.

    You might think, "What the heck do I want a JPEG for?" You can go to your local printer and have them print one copy. They usually like it if it's in .TIFF, or maybe even .PSD. I have experience in dealing with these guys, just contact me for some tips. A price for a one copy only can be very very cheap, like a couple of bucks, an euro or two, or even less, if the printshop you're going to has a digital printer and an effective digital printing system going on.

    For my local clients I usually frame the artwork in quality wood frames with a glass, but rest assured, that will also be more expensive. What you can do is ask me to send you the original inside plastic sheets so it won't fold or harm the paper (or send the sheet rolled in a solid plastic tube, or any other safe method), and you can then frame it over there.

    Any questions, just Private Message me.

    Note: 3rd drawing done on a big sketchbook. Due to large size it was scanned and glued together into pieces.
